Kickstart

Didn't hyperlink the cited cards. But I'm tired and have early morning meetings so I've decided against further work on the subject tonight.

Once I have a chance to poke my nose around the PHP code for the wiki a bit, I'll be adding the forum's autolink code to it. It won't do the popup previews, but it will link the cards for you. So feel free to let it go for now unless you really want to link them manually.

[Kralik]

OK, autolinking for card titles in the wiki should be working! There were a few glitches here and there, but I think they are fixed. Let me know if you see anything. Orc Banner is again a good reference since it has an example decklist.

Looks like the autolink code confuses the section editing option. I'm not going to fiddle with it -- instead, whole page editing is good enough. Also, I added a revisions button to the bottom bar.

That's an improvement more than anything.  Having only a section preview without being able to take it in conjunction with the whole of the article wasn't very helpful.


[EDIT:] Also, would it be possible to move the Edit Article button to the upper-right, near the title?  Perhaps even just put a second button instead of moving, so you have an option to edit at the top if you went to that page specifically to edit, and one at the bottom if you feel that it needs editing after reading it.

Alright, as far as the autolinking goes, it's one thing on the forums for a misfire on the autolinker (whenever someone says "brand new", for instance), but it can be misleading on the wiki.  For example, check out my page for 01R001; "Heavy Burden" is linked when it was just a description, and someone unfamiliar will have no idea why that particular card is such a weakness.  If you can manage it, I think the most elegant solution will be to recognize the built-in "no-formatting" tag for the wiki, %%like this%%, to indicate that a word or phrase should not be interpreted by the autolinker.  

As a side note, being able to do something similar on the forums would be nice, but not as necessary, naturally.

[Kralik]

Actually, this functionality is already on the forums and on the wiki. The simplest way is to precede a card name by an exclamation mark (=not). You can also add the word NOLINK before the card title, which is a clunky carryover I added from CC days.

Example: Heavy Burden <--use quote to see

EDIT: Wow, that announcement is from about ~4 years ago. Has it been that long?

(whenever someone says "brand new", for instance)

BTW, I tend to make the more common English words (like fear vs Fear, hate vs Hate) case sensitive, so perhaps I should do the same for brand.

[TelTura]

Awesome, I figured I must be nuts for such a basic thing to not be implemented. So long as a solution exists that's good enough for me.  

Might wanna put a note for that in the wiki style page, right around where it goes over the wiki noformat tags.

Just wanted to report that I wrote a bit for Consorting With Wizards and Troll of Cirith Gorgor. I'll do one for Westfarthing Businessman a little later. 

[TelTura]

That is awesome.  Just so you know, you can delete the sections that are unneeded; they can always be added later.  I went ahead and removed them for you.

I think I have a good amount of experience with 2 of my fav cards Gandalf, Returned and A Ranger's Versatility but I dont think I can write good enough texts....

[TelTura]

write what you can; one of us will edit it to make it readable if need be, the important part is the content.

Consorting with Wizards is a key card in my Fellowship Hobbit deck -- enough so that I usually bid 3 to get Bilbo out at site 1 with Hobbiton Party Field. I'll have to add a few notes since you made it sound useless.

Basically with Well-Spoken Gentlehobbit and Hobbit Party Guest it becomes four condition removals and excellent Fellowship/Regroup choke. I'll see about posting my "Bilbo's Party" deck and linking it.

Do you play 4 copies of Consorting with Wizards? Looking forward to see the decklist anyways

Added to the wiki. I only edited menace64's text slightly -- the part that indicates that CWW is useless outside of ARB Bilbo.
